The Supreme Pupil Government and School Police Unit are dead serious in assuring that students are disaster prepared.
Last July 18, 2014, Mr. Andrew M. Enriquez, along with the SPG and SPU Family initiated the “Semper Paratus: A forum on disaster preapredness and public safety”. They invited 3 knowledgeable and skillful personalities from the Mati City Police Station, Bureau of Fire Protection and City Disaster Risk Reduction Management Center to give information and inputs to improve students’ awareness in the field of Disaster Preparedness and Public Safety. The forum was participated by the Grade 6 and Grade 5 students.
Semper Paratus, which means “Always Prepared”, was an activity intended not just for the sake of learning but also it intends to have a better relationship towards different agencies. Each guest speakers were given 20 to 30 minutes to present their lecture and discuss how they assure a more safe Mati Community.
The Part Two of the activity was the center of attraction, the Open Forum. Many were stunned by the questions raised by the students. Some of these questions were:
1. Alam po natin na may Intelligence Team at Intelligence Fund ang PNP, LGU at DILG, pero bakit po hindi pa rin nahuhuli ang mga Drug Pusher at nagra-riot?
2. You said that CDRRMC is pro-active, but you cannot predict when the earthquake will come, why then did you say that you are pro-active?
3. Paano po ninyo nalalaman ang dahilan ng sunog kung sunog na sunog na ang mga Physical Evidences?
4. Ang climate change ang isa sa mga dahilan ng mga kalamidad sa ating bansa. Anu-ano po ba ang inyong mga ginagawa para ma solusyunan ang climate change?
5. Kabila kabilaan ang mga nangyayaring krimen sa Mati. Paano po ninyo ipinapakita sa mga taga Mati na kontrolado nyo pa rin ang Peace and Order sa ating lugar?
6. Bakit po ba matagal kayong dumarating pag may nangyayaring krimen? Pag may nangyayaring Sunog?
7. How would you react to people saying na kayo po daw ay Bantay Kalinaw? Bakit po ba talaga kayo tinatawag na Bantay Kalinaw?
8. Anu-ano po ba ang paghahanda na inyong ginagawa para paghandaan ang Storm Surge?
9. Nagkaroon na po ba kayong ng training o drills sa mga paaralan sa Bomb Threat situation?
10. Bilang kasapi ng Anti-terrorism council, paano po ninyo pinaghahandaan ang panganib na dala ng Weapons of Mass Destruction?
Ang Supreme Pupil Government at School Police Unit ay nagpapasalamat at sumasaludo sa mga tagapagtanggol ng ating bayan!
